About this listen

The gripping new Audible Original from queen of suspense K. L. Slater.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers.

My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well.

So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia.

But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

There’s something hidden in the pages of this book, I’m sure of it. Some clue to Philippa’s disappearance. And I don’t feel safe. I’m being watched. My room has been searched. Saskia has been calling me in tears. If I don’t find answers fast I’ll lose more than my second chance.

I’ll lose my daughter.

A breath-taking new thriller from the number one author of The Marriage and The Widow. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Narrator.

I've loved all the books from this author, and this one was great! KL Slater's characters have complex and dynamic relationships. Listeners can really engage with the characters who are presented as having both flaws and strengths.
This story was interesting in that I was listening to a narrated story, and the story is about a narrator of audio books. it felt like a lovely synchronicity.
10 out of 10 and highly recommended in this genre.

Another excellent story from KL Slater

Really enjoyed this book.
Some of the characters were so awful (written so well) I felt physically angry with/about them!
Loved one narrator, dislike the one that seemd to be shouting at me.

Very clever

I love all of these books by this author. The story moves along well and isn't punctured by long winding descriptive nonsense. The twists are always great and this is no exception. The narration is very easy to listen to and I stayed with this one, in its entirety, straight through in one day. Absolutely recommend for those who enjoy a mystery.

Fantastic story!
